Three Facts That You Need to Know About Green Roofs

If we at Dry Valley Roofing LLC had a dollar for every time we heard one of the following mistruths or general inaccuracies about green roofs, then it is likely that we would be in a position to quit our jobs and retire to the Caribbean. The reality is that the innovative and environmentally-friendly nature of green roofs mean that some people feel that they are too good to be true but the reality is that many of the ‘facts’ about green roofs are anything but. Three of the biggest misconceptions that exist when it comes to green roofing systems include:

Green Roofs Are Costly to Irrigate

The fact of the matter is that the irrigation and watering needs of your green roof are completely dependent on the type of rood that you opt for. While, it is true that certain homeowners choose a green roof that requires sedum or other types of vegetation that is costly to irrigate, this is not obligatory. Other homeowners can create idyllic green roofs with brush, tress or other vegetation that needs far less maintenance or costs.

You Can Make Your Own Green Roof With Some Dirt

If we were to analyze the problems of doing it yourself when it comes to green roofs then this could be biggest and costliest mistake. The simple fact of the matter is that creating a great green roof involves much more than some good potting soil on it. Before even one ounce of dirt, soil or any other vegetation is planted on your roof, it is necessary to have your home’s structure analyzed to determine if it has the strength and integrity to handle a green roof.

Green Roofs Are Simply Too Expensive and Complicated

Many homeowners are intimidated by green roofs because they simply do not know where to start or how much it is going to cost them to install and maintain and while many of these concerns are genuine, the fact of the matter is choosing the correct team of professionals is one of the safest way of ensuring your costs are kept to a minimum.
